Scan question?

[Mandymoo]

Hi
Is it still normal practice to have a 12 week scan now or does it really just depend on where you live? I had one with dd but have been told that 12 weeks scans are no longer offered unless there is a specific problem which requires a scan.

TIA XX

Was in Essex for 1 1/2 pregnancies and had 12 week sans with both girls although had I had all my 2nd pregnancy in Aus would not have had a 12 week scan unless I opted for a nuchal fold scan - routinely they only do the 20 week scan. They may have possibly offered me one earlier given that my first child was born with down syndrome.

oops also had routine 20 week scan with dd1.
